Daniel Talking About Max On His Beyond The Grid Interview:

Daniel talking about Max on his Beyond The Grid interview:

[Los Angeles] is becoming a bit of a destination city for Formula 1, isn’t it?

Funnily enough I literally bumped into Max in the August break. I literally drove past him. He was walking on the street and he didn’t know what car I was driving or anything. But I looked and it just like– he was looking and we both waved at each other and it was the biggest coincidence. That was pretty cool. We messaged each other saying like ‘Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I saw you’.

I think you were a very good influence on Max when you were teammates. I think you dissipated some of his intensity which I think it helped him grow as a person and as a driver.

I think we were good for each other. I think he certainly grew in that time. He probably learned a bit from me being with the team longer and being older. And you can see it. He is less– whatever, fiery, erratic than he was a couple years ago. And he’s matured. I think he’s found his place now. And if I contributed to that, great.

Seb or Max?

I’ve been asked this comparison before and I’ve said Max. Mainly my reasoning for Max is he still got age on his side. His window is bigger because he’s still young. He could still grow into something better than he already is. Hopefully not too much, for everyone’s sake.
